اليوم ٣.٥: المدافع

بينما نسمع إعادة سرد قصة يهوذا المكابي وإخوته الذين يقاتلون من أجل شرف هيكل الرب في سفر المكابيين الثاني، اشير إلى كيف تعطينا هذه النسخة نظرة ثاقبة لاعترافهم بحضور الله ورحمته وعدله في ظروفهم. ونتعلم أنه بغض النظر عما نمر به، يمكننا أن نثق في أن الله هو المدافع العظيم عنا والحاضر والنشط في جميع ظروف حياتنا. قراءات اليوم هي 2 المكابيين 8، الحكمة 5-6، وأمثال 24: 30-34.

Day 305: The Defender

As we hear the re-telling of the story of Judas Maccabbeus and his brothers fighting for the honor of the Lord's Temple in 2 Maccabees, we point out how this version gives us an insight into their recognition of God's presence, mercy, and justice in their circumstances. We learn that no matter what we are going through, we can trust that God is our great defender who is present and active in all circumstances of our lives. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 8, Wisdom 5-6, and Proverbs 24:30-34.

نركز اليوم على الموضوع القوي الذي يربط جميع قراءاتنا - واقع الحياة بعد الموت. في قصة استشهاد الإخوة السبعة في المكابيين الثاني، نرى كيف رفض الإخوة وأمهم بشدة تجربة انتهاك شريعة الله، وتمسكوا بجرأة برجاء قيامة الأموات. وقراءاتنا من الحكمة تذكرنا أيضًا أن الموت ليس النهاية، لأننا نعلم أن الحياة الأبدية تنتظرنا بعد الموت. قراءات اليوم هي 2 المكابيين 7، الحكمة 3-4، وأمثال 24: 27-29.

We focus on the powerful theme that connects all of our readings today- the reality of life beyond death. In the story of the martyrdom of the seven brothers in 2 Macabees, we see how the brothers and their mother fiercely reject the temptation to violate God's law, and boldly hold onto their hope in the resurrection of the dead. Our readings from Wisdom also remind us that death is not the end, because we know that eternal life is waiting for us beyond death. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 7, Wisdom 3-4, and Proverbs 24:27-29.

نقدم تلخيصًا لاستشهاد العازار ونتعجب من شجاعة العازار لتجنب الخطيئة وإغراء قيادة الآخرين إلى الخطيئة. عندما نبدأ بقراءة سفر الحكمة اليوم، نتعلم أيضًا ثلاثة دروس قيمة؛ لم يخلق الله الموت، دخل الموت إلى العالم بالخطية، ونحن حكماء عندما نسلك في الحق وأغبياء عندما نسلك في الشر. قراءات اليوم هي 2 المكابيين 6، الحكمة 1-2، وأمثال 24: 21-26.

We read a recap of Eleazar's martyrdom and marvel at Eleazar's courage to avoid both sin, and the temptation to lead others into sin. As we begin reading the book of Wisdom today, we also learn three valuable lessons; God did not create death, death entered the world through sin, and we are wise when we walk in the truth but foolish when we walk in evil. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 6, Wisdom 1-2, and Proverbs 24:21-26.

نختم سفر سيراخ ونتشجع على مواصلة السعي وراء الحكمة. في قراءتنا لسفر المكابيين الثاني، نرى مرة أخرى نهب الهيكل ونتعرف مرة أخرى على يهوذا المكابي. أخيرًا، سفر الأمثال يشجعنا على مقاومة إغراء الابتهاج عندما يسقط أعداؤنا. قراءات اليوم هي 2 المكابيين 5، سيراخ 50-51، وأمثال

24: 17-20.

 

We conclude the book of Sirach today and encourages us to continue the pursuit of wisdom. In our reading of 2 Maccabees, we see again the pillage of the Temple and we are re- introduced to Judas Maccabeus. Lastly, in Proverbs Fr. Mike encourages us to resist the temptation to rejoice when our enemies fall. Today’s readings are 2 Maccabees 5, Sirach 50-51, and Proverbs 24:17-20.

اليوم ٣٠١: الصعود مجددًا

بينما نبدأ في إنهاء العهد القديم، نتأمل في قراءتنا من كتاب سيراخ وما تعلمناه بالفعل خلال هذه الرحلة عبر الكتاب المقدس. نشدد على أن الكتاب المقدس يشجعنا على الصعود مجددًا من خطيئتنا والعودة إلى الله، لأن إلهنا دائمًا يمتد يده برحمته ليرفعنا مرة أخرى. القراءات اليوم هي 2 مكابي 4، السيراخ 47-49، وأمثال 24:13-16.

Day 301: Rising Again

As we begin to wrap up the Old Testament, we reflect on our reading from Sirach and what we have already learned on this journey through the Bible. We emphasize that Scripture encourages us to rise again from our sin and return to God, because our God always picks us up again with his mercy. Today’s readings are 2 Maccabees 4, Sirach 47-49, and Proverbs 24:13-16.

نقدم توضيحاً للمنظور المتمحور حول الله في سفر المكابيين الثاني ونقارنه بالمنظور العلماني في سفر المكابيين الأول. نتحدى بعضنا البعض بأن نتأمل في أيامنا بعدسة سفر مكابي الثاني - معترفين بوجود الله في كل لحظة من قصتنا. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، نشارك قصة التحول المعجزية للقديسة مريم المصرية. القراءات اليوم هي 2 مكابي 3، السيراخ 45-46، وأمثال 24:10-12.

We provide context to the God-centered perspective of 2 Maccabees and compares it to the more secular perspective provided by 1 Maccabees.

Additionally, we share the miraculous conversion story of St. Mary of Egypt. Today’s readings are 2 Maccabees 3, Sirach 45-46, and Proverbs 24:10-12.

نناقش قصة إرميا وتابوت العهد، ونقدم نظرة ثاقبة حول المكان الذي تم إخفاؤه فيه وكيف أثر ذلك على شعب الله. نحن نتطلع أيضًا إلى بقية سفر المكابيين الثاني ونطرح سؤالًا علينا جميعًا: ماذا سيتذكر عنا الأشخاص الذين يحبوننا؟ قراءات اليوم هي 2 المكابيين 2، سيراخ 42-44، وأمثال 24: 8-9.

We discuss the story of Jeremiah and the Ark of the Covenant, offering insight on where it was hidden and how that affected the people of God.

Today’s readings are 2 Maccabees 2, Sirach 42-44, and Proverbs 24:8-9.

بينما نقرأ من كتاب يشوع بني سراخ، نشير إلى أن كل ما خلقه الله هو جيد، ولكن يمكننا استخدام تلك الأمور لأغراض شريرة. نصل أيضًا إلى ختام سفر المكابيني الأول اليوم. القراءات هي١ مكابيين ١٦، السيراخ ٣٨-٣٩، وأمثال ٢٣:٢٩-٣٥

As we read from Proverbs and Sirach, we point out how everything God has made is good, but we can use those things for evil ends. We also reach the conclusion of 1 Maccabees today. The readings are 1 Maccabees 16, Sirach 38-39, and Proverbs 23:29-35.

عندما نبدأ في اختتام سفر المكابيين الأول، ينصب اهتمامنا على أن سفر المكابيين الثاني يروي نفس القصة بطريقة مختلفة. في سيراخ، يتم تشجيعنا على معرفة قلوبنا، حتى نتمكن من معرفة نقاط القوة والضعف لدينا، وأين قد نحتاج إلى الشفاء. القراءات هي 1 المكابيين 15، سيراخ 36-37، وأمثال 23: 26-28.

As we begin to wrap up 1 Maccabees, our attention is directed to how 2 Maccabees will tell the same story in a different way. In Sirach, we are encouraged to know our own hearts, so that we can know our strengths, weaknesses, and where we might need healing. The readings are 1 Maccabees 15, Sirach 36-37, and Proverbs 23:26-28.
